2 446 The Ohio Naturalist. [Vol. IX, No. 4, THE CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS, IV. JOHN H. SCHAFFNER. The class concept is becoming fairly well established in botany even though one frequently finds groups of very unequal rank designated as classes in recent works. In the last article of the present series of papers, the writer defined a class as "A group of plants in a subkingdom, the members of which show an evident relationship to one another because of similarity of morphological and physiological characters." A diagram was also given showing the approximate relationships of the classes. There are between forty and fifty plant classes. Of course, it will be recognized that the groups we call classes are of the same rank only in a general sense. In the following scheme fortysix classes, four of them fossil, have been established and are characterized by brief descriptions together with the approximate number of species. The endings of the fungus names have been changed to correspond to Saccardo's views. There should be a uniform system of class endings, but this will come probably only when the class becomes more definitely recognized as a plant group. It might be well in the future to revise some of the class names now in use. It is manifestly absurd to attempt to apply the law of priority in establishing class names. Until very recently the very idea of the class as a definite group from the modern point of view was lacking and our system of the larger groupings is still in its evolution. The arguments adduced for priority in establishing generic and specific names have no weight when applied to the higher groups. From time to time some botanist proposes an improvement and it is thus that a reasonable system will be developed. In a future paper an attempt will be made to group the classes into proper phyla in harmony with the diagram already published. I. PROTOPHYTA species. Protophyceae. 1. Cyanophyceae. Blue-green Algae species. Nonsexual algae with phycocyanin, blue-green or brownish in color; unicellular, in plates or masses, or in simple or branched filaments; reproduction by simple fission or hormogones, sometimes with specialized resting cells; cell walls usually gelatinous. Typically freshwater plants, frequently occurring in hot springs, some growing in aerial conditions on moist soil, rocks and trees. 2. Pleurococceae. 200 species. Simple nonsexual green algae, unicellular, filamentous, or in colonies; reproduction by fission, by internal division, or by zoospores. Typically freshwater or aerial plants.
3 Feb., 1909.] The Classification of Plants, IV. 447 Protomycetae. 3. Schizomycetae. Bacteria species. Simple unicellular or filamentous fission fungi, parasitic, saprophytic, or holophytic; commonly with flagella or cilia, sometimes moving by means of cell contraction; often producing nonmotile spores which can endure great extremes of heat and cold; reproduction by simple fission, the divisions in one, two, or three directions; cells not naked or ameboid. 4. Myxoschizomycetae. Slime Bacteria. 20 species. Unicellular fission fungi with a slight undulatory motion produced by the contraction of the cell, imbedded in a pseudo-plasmodium and moving about en masse; forming peculiar sporangium-like bodies when passing into the resting or spore stage ; cells not amoeboid; saprophytes on decaying organic matter. 5. Myxomycetae. Slime Moulds. 400 species. Unicellular nonsexual mostly terrestrial fungi showing some relationship to the Rhizopoda, occurring in plasmodial masses of more or less completely fused amoeboid cells which finally, with few exceptions, build up complex sporangia-like bodies containing the spores or encysted ^individuals; spores on germinating giving rise to flagellate naked cells; saprophyts or rarely parasites. 6. Archimycetae. 200 species. Simple parasitic often aquatic fungi without or with a very imperfect mycelium; nonsexual, with zoospores or with thickwalled resting spores; zoospores usually penetrating and developing in a cell of the host plant. II. NEMATOPHYTA. 57,000 species. Gamophyceae. 7. Protococceae. 230 species. Simple sexual green algae, single celled or in colonies; usually with normal cells containing one nucleus; reproduction by division, by free swimming gametes, or by motile spermatozoids and stationary eggs. 8. Hydrodictyeae. 26 species. Green coenocytic algae consisting of colonies of peculiar form often very symmetrical; reproduction by the conjugation of equal motile gametes; nonsexual reproduction by zoospores which form new colonies in the parent coenocyte or are discharged in a delicate membrane. 9.
